Organisation: Tamar Energy Community (TEC)
Location: Flexible/Remote with occasional local meetings (West Devon and Tamar Valley area)
Time Commitment: Approx. 2–3 hours per week

Tamar Energy Community (TEC) is a community-owned social enterprise working to put people at the heart of shaping a sustainable energy future for West Devon and the Tamar Valley. We’re involved in projects that reduce carbon emissions, support energy resilience, and bring long-term community benefit.

We are seeking a Volunteer Finance Director to join our Board and play a key role in overseeing TEC’s financial health and supporting our mission. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with financial expertise who wants to make a tangible difference to the local community and to the transition to a low-carbon future.

Key responsibilities:

  1. Provide strategic financial oversight and guidance to the Board.
  2. Support budgeting, financial planning, and cashflow management.
  3. Oversee preparation of financial reports and compliance requirements.
  4. Advise on investment decisions and community share offers.
  5. Contribute to strategic discussions and decisions as a Director.

About you:

  1. Strong understanding of company finances and financial management.
  2. Experience in preparing or reviewing management accounts and budgets.
  3. Confidence in advising on financial strategy and compliance.
  4. Knowledge of the community energy sector (desirable but not essential).
  5. Commitment to the values of community ownership and sustainability.

What we offer:

  1. The chance to make a real impact in shaping local, sustainable energy solutions.
  2. The opportunity to work with a dedicated and passionate team of volunteers.
  3. A flexible, part-time role (2–3 hours per week) that can fit around other commitments.
  4. A supportive environment where your expertise will be highly valued.

If you’d like to use your financial and management skills to support community-led climate action and help drive the transition to a fairer, cleaner energy future, we’d love to hear from you.
